Developer Staffing Survey: Needs Outstrip Supply, September 04, 2012 An InformationWeek survey shows IT managers expect that developers with the needed skills will be hard to find for a while yet.
Shortage of developers somewhat retards technology adoption.
Surprisingly, the difficulty in finding the needed programming talent has slowed adoption of newer technologies in only a minority of organizations. Just less than 40% of IT organizations have been forced to slow plans due to the shortage of skilled developers. Most have moved forward anyway. I expect that many of those companies have used contract programmers to fill the gap and will either continue to pay a premium for contract services or will back-fill with the skills later.

Preview: Bulletstorm
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Loud, dumb, obnoxious, and a hell of a lot of fun.
I'm just getting more and more excited for this game the more I hear about it.
Sounds like just what the doctor ordered. :D
Well, it sure sounds like fun.
Well I will be picking this up as well, frankly it sounds great for blowing off steam after a day of stress.
The demo was a blast, cant wait for the full game.
This should so be on the back of the box. In fact, I'm pretty sure Cliffy B would agree.
Well, giving that he had a special place in his heart for Painkiller, an over the top, no-holds-barred, enemies in your way, killfest, I think he might enjoy this.
On the other hand, the game is also by Epic Games. Seeing as Yahtzee didn't really care for the Gears of War franchise, them teaming up with People Can Fly is going to create a real conflict for him.
This game is so not gonna make it to germany. ^^
As Just Cause 2 has proven to me, having to endure awful writing and voice-acting will deter me from a game no matter how fun other people believe it to be.
Though the trailers I've seen made me happy. Not in the sense they were by any means enjoyable, but in the way that I finally got that true condescending feel of an adult watching a "kid's" video game.
"Then I stabbed him in the junk with a pitchfork, and leashed him off the bridge and got 1000 points for 'bourgeoisie uprising'"
The demo was a lot of fun, but only because I kept think of new ways to torture my enemies. This preview forgets to mention that you really should string together methods to get the most fun out of it. Whipping a guy, and shooting him or kicking him into spikes gets boring after a while. Instead of just doing that a million times, combine a few smaller features into awesome combos.
Tsk tsk. The previev should've begun with a trigger warning. Also, I presume the latter option would be delivered by Dickwolves?
Like launching him into the air and shooting him with a flare to turn him into a big, pretty firework. Or launching him into the air inside a building so all his buddies nearby become the new wallpaper. Or shooting people with a four-barreled shotgun while drunk. Seriously, this game looks like it's finally going to put some FUN back into the genre.
The thing is, If this game is supposed to be a self-consciously brain-dead, fuckfest.....WHY does it take so long to hook you? Why do i have to "stick with it" for 45 minutes, before the game gets good?
Is there REALLY that much exposition in this game then? Like, look at say, Mass Effect 2. That game is neck deep in exposition, but the hook that draws you in, lies literally SECONDS from the beginning of the game (50 if you don't faff about). Or is it really like Heavy Rain which has over an hour of boring shit that you have to wade through. And in that case, Wtf?
Well, you're 75% correct.
This game horrifying. Like, Teen Mom horrifying. It's like the entire thing was slapped together by the ad wizards behind "Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2."
This is the death of innovation. Are you guys really that starved for a new way to shoot a gun at someone?
And the script! Was it written with a hammer? These lines were barely funny when Duke Nukem was saying them 13 years ago.
I'm usually all for not taking myself seriously, but I refuse to pay $60+ so that I can be called "dick-tits" by my television.
tl;dr: More like BullshitStorm, amirite?
They had me the moment my friend said, 'ERRRR DERP! My high score is 8.7k! YOU AINT GUNNA BEATS IT!"
Because, sure enough, right infront of his face, i hit 11k. And not long after, 12. Just the concept was enough to hook me. Not only am i better then my friends, but as of recently, many games have started allowing me to prove it!
I have a problem with this game. I want an original DS but I also want this game. I can't choose... Darn.
Or tying up a guy with a flail so he's immobilized and then overcharging your assault rifle, positioning yourself so there is a guy behind him and skeletize them both in one powerful shot. Or thump them into the air, use the screamer's flare to set them on fire then plant a flail on the ground below them as a little surprise for their exhilirating flight. YOU my friend... understand bulletstorm.
"Bulletsorm's single-player campaign takes about 10 hours..."
Wait, did you play the whole game or did the producers give you an estimate of the game length?
Which is why I pre-ordered it from Austria weeks ago. And so should you. ^^
No, I think it's because it's changing the gameplay paradigm of shooters being: aim, shoot, grenade. The game is asking you for creativity, so it's a lot deeper than most shooters which are simple enough to be played by everyone (and therefore their huge sales in mainstream). If you do that in Bulletstorm, the game is boring and makes fun of you for it. So I can see why it took him an hour to get his bearings on how to properly play this shooter, compared to others.
While all that may be true it doesn't seem to be the problem Russ is voicing. It seems like he meant that the game literally takes 45 minutes to "get good" and you should stick through that intial stage of doubt inflicting drudgery, if you wanna see the good bit.
I dunno Maybe i read it wrong or whatever, but then again....why would it take Russ 45 minutes to get the hang of the game though? He's a gamer and this is still an FPS we're talking about, not a fucking Rocketship!
I got $20 on this game boiling down to "OMG (insert skill kill name) NOOB" spams in the chat room until the only way to kill is bunnyhopping and no-scoping for random shots.
What? This level of intricate detail in a kill system isn't going to be noticed by the kids looking to buy this game...The adults might get it...but who is the news going to go for first?
I played the whole thing. It took about 10 hours.
After the first 45 minutes or so of build-up gameplay, Gray discovers a device called a "leash"
There you go.
Everyone who played the demo had the leash from the start, and it's pretty much the best initiator of combos and experimentation.
I wanted FPS games to go back 10 years because the shooters when I was 13 were fun, not super-realistic and well designed. I didn't want shooters to go back because I want mental simulation for a 13 year old.
Remember an episode of The Simpsons a while back, where Bart gets caught stealing? Remember how ridiculous and hyper-violent the game was? Bonestorm?
Here we are.
I feel the need, the need for rape.
I am SO ready for this game to be out! It seems like every time I hear something about this game, it just gets me all the more excited! Agh! I can't wait! I need to kick a guy in the balls now!!
hahahaha...I see what you did there.
ot: seriously cant stop playing that demo...might have a problem...cant stop castrating clones...
I'm so glad I pre-ordered this game. I could use a mindless blood and guts shooter.
lol, historic win. makes me wonder how the french revolutions would have gone if they had a point keeping device...... and plasma whips. that could be a spin-off in its own right now that i think about it.
seriously, somebody go make that. i want to play that now
I know what you mean. I'm really tired of all these of high-brow, tastefully suggestive art-house shooters that have flooded the market recently. It's as if The New Yorker has been the only one allowed to greenlight games lately.
10 bucks says someone says BullshitStorm in the game. ill almost be disappointed if they dont
If so it will completely reverse my opinion of this game.
i can just imagine that it would fit really well into the colorful vocabulary that the game has taken on. and considering the whole game is basically a joke why not make fun of itself ya know?
i really cant wait to find out when i buy this game. looks really fun.

The Hare with Amber Eyes
Every once in a while, I run across a book that has such wide appeal that I can easily imagine giving copies to nearly everyone on my gift list. One such book—and my favorite work of non-fiction this year—is The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss by Edmund de Waal. The author, a potter and curator of ceramics at the Victoria & Albert Museum, contemplates the history of his ancestors—a fabulously wealthy Jewish banking family—from the latish 19thcentury through World War II. He uses as the linchpin for his discussion a collection of 246 netsukes, miniature ornamental carvings (including one of a hare with amber eyes), which were originally collected by the first Charles Ephrussi, and handed down from generation to generation. In the process, the collection moved from Japan to Paris to Vienna, back to Japan, and thence to the author, in London. The Ephrussis were a cultural force both in Vienna and Paris. You can see what was once their house on Vienna's Ringstrasse even now. Charles was a patron of many artists and writers; he was also the model for Swann in Proust's great novel, and he appears in Renoir's The Luncheon of the Boating Party (he's the man in the back, in profile, with a top hat and a reddish beard). I'm giving this book to friends and family who love history or biographies or art or visiting and/or reading about Paris or Vienna; to those who enjoy family sagas and, especially, to anyone who appreciates graceful, understated writing. And those who love books with family trees. Kudos to the publisher, FSG, for producing a book that's both a pleasure to hold and behold.

FIFA rejected calls to move the 2018 World Cup from Russia, saying the tournament "can achieve positive change."
Zürich (DIPLOMAT)- Some lawmakers in Germany want the hosting rights reviewed because of Russia's alleged involvement in shooting down a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine last week.
Political pressure on Russia increased Friday when the European Union sought to freeze assets and restrict travel for more individuals and businesses.
FIFA said in a statement it "deplores any form of violence" and questions the purpose of relocating the showcase tournament.
"History has shown so far that boycotting sport events or a policy of isolation or confrontation are not the most effective ways to solve problems," FIFA said, adding that global attention on the World Cup "can be a powerful catalyst for constructive dialogue between people and governments."
The conflict between Ukraine and pro-Russia separatist rebels escalated days after the World Cup ended in Brazil.
On July 13 in Rio de Janeiro, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a World Cup handover ceremony with Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff. Both then sat next to FIFA President Sepp Blatter to watch the final at the Maracana Stadium, won by Germany.
FIFA, which has Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko on its executive committee, said a World Cup in the country "can be a force for good."
"FIFA believes this will be the case for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia," the governing body said.
Blatter already rejected calls to strip Russia of the tournament after it annexed the Crimea this year.
"The World Cup has been given and voted to Russia and we are going forward with our work," Blatter said in March.
In a separate statement Friday, Mutko said a U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics had been a mistake.
"So there's no sense in reacting to politicians trying to make names for themselves," Mutko was quoted saying by the Russian news agency R-Sport. "We're preparing in a calm way, building facilities, getting ready for the World Cup."
Russia has announced a $20 billion budget for building and renovating 12 stadiums, and other construction projects, for the first World Cup in Eastern Europe.
Restricting Russian financial institutions' access to European capital markets was suggested to a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels on Friday. The 28-nation bloc is scheduled to further discuss the subject Tuesday.
"FIFA has stated many times that sport should be outside politics," Mutko said. "Hosting an event like this, we're doing it for athletes from all over the world, for footballers, for the fans."For more news and stories, join us on Facebook,Twitter , or contact us through our Email: email@example.com, email@example.com

She finished the race 5.31 seconds behind the time of four-time Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin.

Cities and counties considering BYOD should ponder these lessons from early adopters.
As mobile devices continue a steady march into government offices, CIOs face a conundrum. They want to provide network access for personal tablets and smartphones, but worry about the security risks associated with a BYOD program. Early adopters have a message for those agencies just getting started – don't let fear stop you.
Many public CIOs say that a security philosophy must be established early in order to implement a successful BYOD policy. By understanding the degree of risk an organization is willing to accept in advance, everyone is on the same page, allowing the mobile environment to thrive.
"You can never get risk-free and you're foolish if you think you're not adding more risk, regardless of what any vendor tells you," said Otto Doll, CIO of Minneapolis, Minn. "I'm sorry but the bad guys out there are seemingly always having an ability to crack everything anyone creates. So [risk acceptance], to me, is really a big first step for anyone."
Minneapolis kicked off an extensive BYOD program in 2009. At first the program was just for smartphones, but it was later expanded to tablets and other devices when Doll took the CIO job a couple years later. The city also launched its own internal app store for users.
The city of Minneapolis – at least for the moment – operates almost exclusively as an iOS-based shop. While Android phones and tablets are permitted on the network to access the Web, city business functions and the app store are entirely iOS. So users accessing the city network to do their work on personal devices are almost all using iPads, Doll said. He added that Windows-based devices will be supported starting in July.
The decision not to support every device is another suggestion Doll had for local governments eyeing BYOD policies. He explained that the city's IT team has found that not all types of smartphones can get into the network. And while most do, he encourages decision-makers to evaluate the ROI on keeping up with each new device and platform hitting the market.
Doll says it doesn't make a lot of sense as an organization to try and support everything, and employees need to be aware that if they want to use their personal technology for business purposes, their choice of device might be restricted.
5 Steps to BYOD Success
Establish a security philosophy. Local governments need to decide early-on how much risk they are prepared to accept by allowing personal devices to be used for government business.
These tips were compiled by Government Technology's Brian Heaton based on interviews with Otto Doll, Nick Roethel and Joel Hartley.
"I don't think we'll ever be in a position where our attitude will be we'll choose one thing and that's all you can do," Doll said. "But on the other hand, we're not going to accept that we need to make work anything that's brought to us. You have to … be able to ensure the organization and your employees understand that stance."
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), which handles transportation planning, coordinating and financing for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, started its BYOD program in 2013. Nick Roethel, IT strategy and operations manager for the MTC, said government agencies need to consider various "what if" scenarios when establishing policy for personal devices in the workplace.
One of Roethel's biggest concerns is document and data management. Because tablets are becoming more popular for traveling employees, a number of mobile tools are being used to create and edit official documents on personal devices.
This can lead to problems down the road if legally discoverable documents are stored on commoditized storage servers such as Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, Roethel said. He encouraged agencies to write a BYOD policy that provides clear oversight, but enough trust in the user to make the correct choices when working with public documents.
Roethel adds that giving employees the freedom to bring in their own equipment can trigger additional support demands.
"Once employees taste the freedom of choosing [to bring] their own mobile device, they will begin questioning the entire technology equipment-provisioning model," Roethel said. "Users will begin asking, 'if I can bring my own iPhone, then why can't I bring my own Mackbook?' And in reality, that's a great question. If you're not thinking about the answer, you'd better be, because … you'll find many folks that sneak in their own devices to do presentations and create/edit documents."
Securing early buy-in on a BYOD program from both employees and senior management is a key to success, according to Joel Hartley, CIO of Davidson County, N.C. The county has had a BYOD plan in place since 2005, but it's strictly for smartphones. Employees are paid a monthly stipend for the business use conducted on their personal devices.
Hartley said it was "fairly easy" to gain management approval and roll out the county's initial BYOD implementation. The biggest challenge was communicating with employees about the new program and what it entailed. He stressed that education on the policy and IT knowledge of various devices and operating systems were paramount for long-term success.
Doll added that making BYOD convenient and easy is critical. He noted the value of mobile device management solutions, which can help CIOs push updates and security profiles to employees' existing or new devices. That can be important factor for a BYOD program's success, as people generally upgrade their personal computing technology at a much faster pace than what an IT organization is accustomed to.
"If you're in a much larger organization, you might find a lot of change in what somebody uses over the course of a year," Doll said. "I think that's because now you're dealing with [technology] that's coming from a consumer standpoint and not as an enterprise IT organization."

Thierry Mugler: Spring 2012
Thierry Mugler Spring 2012
Thierry Mugler Spring 2012
Thierry Mugler, under the direction of Nicola Formichetti, presented a sculpted, tight, and provocative collection for Spring 2012. It's impossible to look at the collection and not wonder what Lady Gaga will be wearing — the nude and tan minidresses, a cutout white jumpsuit, or the gothic black uniforms? While much of the collection is intended for more daring fashionistas, there was a very cool pair of glittery leggings paired with an asymmetric tunic that could make its way to a red carpet outing near you.
- Trends: sculptural cuts, cutouts, bandage dressing, short hemlines, asymmetry.
- Colors: black, white, gold, nude, tan.
- Key Look: the gold beaded leggings and tunic.
- Accessories: minimal platform sandals.
- Who Would Wear It: Aside from Lady Gaga? These are showstopping looks meant for music videos — think Rihanna and a non-pregnant Beyoncé.
